Questions

How do I reverse a video for free?

Drop the video, set the start and end of the part to reverse (from the player or by typing times), choose "a reversed clip" and save. The part comes back as an MP4, played backwards.

How do I make a boomerang from a video I already have?

Choose "a boomerang", pick how many times it should go forward and back, and save. Short moments (one to three seconds) work best, like Instagram's boomerangs.

Can I keep the sound?

Yes, played backwards with the picture, or leave it out for a silent clip you can put music under.

Is there a length limit?

No hard limit. Reversing is done a second at a time from the end, so long parts take longer but don't fill the memory. Videos larger than 1280 pixels on the long side come out at 1280.
